British Lottery International Internet Scam

We’ve had a lot of questions asking about the British Lottery International email scam which so many folks are receiving. It seems that with the Katrina scams starting to wane, the British Lottery International scam is picking up steam again. The questions always run along the lines of this one:

“I just received an email from British Lottery International advising a lottery number had been assigned to my email address and I had won a large amount of money. I was given a web site and person name to contact to start the process of collecting the money. I am assuming this is a scam but would like to verify.

Can you help?”

Yes, we can help. We can tell you this: any email you get advertising British Lottery International, even if it seems like it could be true because it is targeting you specifically (and that’s what it is, targeting) is a scam. Period. In fact, it is really just a variation on all the 419 scams out there.

I finally got a second response from the “Freelotto” FLC Promotions in the U.K. with two signed documents that look really legit. The only problem was, they didn’t send them in the mail, even though they have my home address on file. This is how you know it’s not real. If there are no tangible prints of evidence, then it is more than likely a scam, and I’ll give you the names and email addresses for you to all use as reference, in case you receive a similar message.

I just got a letter in the mail today. Very official looking, royal mail post mark from London. But it also looked very generic, aside from my name and address at the top it said “Dear Sir/Madam” then went on to tell me that the person writing me was Eric Andrews, the prize director representing Worthline Investment LTD and that out of 1,900,000 names taken world wide from lottery databases and sweepstakes my numbers 5-19-22-28-34-47 were selected in a draw done in England on 12/24/12 and that I had won $130,000.00 dollars. It listed a number below where I could call and contact them to claim my prize. I googled the company and got nothing what so ever, the address 80 High Street, London England SW16 United Kingdom, doesn’t seem to exist either. I never called the number because first and foremost I don’t have international calling on my cell and am not about to pay out the yin yang for a scam. It seemed good at first but upon research and finding nothing on the company, the address, the phone number or the two people I was supposed to contact (Eric Andrews or Evelyn Anderson) it seems more scam like and suspicious.

Is this real?

Teresa5/29/2012

I wasn’t contacted by email but I did recieve a letter from Western Insurance LCD stating that my name had been drawn from a worldwide data base and that i’d won $100,000.00. Their head office is located in England and a phone number and name was provided for me to call to claim my prize. I’ve tried to look up the company online and found nothing even related to it. The letter reads very formal and provides a lot of information on the process of clearing the winning through Federal and International regulations. When I called they did not ask of any personal information other then my name and zip code and the claim number provided on the letter.
I am a single mom of two and the letter is very tempting to believe but I need to check it out as I can not afford to be taken advantage of. Can you tell me wether this is apart of the same internet scam or a variation of it.
Thank you for you time.
Teresa

Greetings,

Nice day to you as you read this and congratulation as you celebrate.
This is a personal email directed to you. My soon to be wife and I won a Euro Millions Jackpot Lottery of £101m million (Pounds) on October 11, 2011 and have voluntarily decidedto donate the sum of £1,000,000.00 Pounds to you as part of our own charity project to improve the lot of 20 lucky individuals all over the world. If you have received
this email then you are one of the lucky recipients and all you have to do is get back to us so that we can send your

it is nice to hear from you.You see God works in miraculous ways.You may be wondering why you received the email.It is funny right?.When i first watched it via television that i had won this large amount of money,i doubted it and called it a joke.Until i realised that ir was no joke.Even when i was buying the ticket i never really had faith in it i just told God to have his way.I know you would be wondering in your heart and mind if this is for real,but don’t panic it is well.

This is a life time opportunity and 100% legitimate. Angela my wife and I have decided to make sure this is put on the Internet for the world to see. My soon to be wife has an ailment and as you could see from the web-page, am not getting any younger and you can imagine having no kids at this age. You see after taken care of the needs of our immediate family members, we decided to donate the remaining of the million(GBP) to other individuals around the world in need, the local fire department, the Red Cross, Haiti, hospitals in Truro where Angela underwent her cancer treatment, and some other organizations in Asia and Europe that fight cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes and the bulk of the funds deposited with Halifax and GTBANK PLC, the payout bank of this charity donation scheme. We have kept just 2% of the entire lottery sum to ourself for the raining day.

To fascilitate the disbursement process of the funds L1,000,000.00 Pounds has been solely donated to you, please send us your contact address and a valid identification of your self and phone number, so that we can forward your details over to the payout bank immediately. We are hoping that you will be able to use the money wisely and judiciously over there in your country. We will employ you to do what you can to alleviate the level of poverty in your region and also try to enhance the standard of living of as many people as you can because that is the only objective of donating this money to you in the first place.

Thank you for accepting our offer, we are indeed grateful.
We anticipate your earliest response.

abbas2/24/2009

hi just to letting you know .i got same email that i won 5 million .
and i gave my acc number and all
#detail….
guess what …..
next week when i check my bank balance i had all 5 million in my account ………………..i was sooooooooooooooooooooo happy.
i buy big house and long car
and then i wake up………………to bad

My experience with these people has made me mistrust my judgement. i told them in an email that i did not have funds to get a passport let alone travel to Germany to pick up papers needed to claim winnings. They’ll mail the papers which require “high insurance” if I send them $200 asap as time is short to take care of this. I can just imagine they need my 200 dollars, because I need it too. They suggested I borrow from my friends. They are a bad influence for sure. I have received uk Lottery emails that I’ve won over the last 3 years. How lucky can I be? Actually it is because I have been lucky off and on my whole life, so why not win the email address ticket I did not buy so I am treating them as spam.

i recieved an emial from michael, of netherlands loterij promotion,
for winning 1’000’000 euros,
is this true,
we rung him, and he sounded very dodgy, saying we had won 2 million australian,
please emai asap to tell me if true, thanks

just a thought, there have been phone numbers posted here for a number of these scammers, and people have reported speaking to scammers at those numbers. how about someone compiling a list of those numbers and organizing to call them repeatedly as often as possible “just to chat a bit about the football scores and the weather…” using “pre-paid” mobile “throw away” phones.

In my response to them I wrote I was suspicious due to all the spelling mistakes on their email and that i wont believe it until the cheque is in my hand as if it’s too good to be true it usually is!

I received the congratulatory messages from the “British Lotter_ _ ” like four of them in a row and I immediately something msut be really wrong. The Message is not any different from the ones I’ve read through on this page…..they directed to Air Parcel Express . Upon further communication with the Courier Company the Courier Company asked me to send to them via “Western Union” a total amount of USD.780.00 which would cover Insurance, VAT, Delivery e.t.c. And honestly I checked the Courier Company and found it, and the reply they send me via was as well looking very REAL….. ha ha ha h what would we do without the help of your great Internet Patrol. So by virtue of having furnished them with my full particulars do I stand to be in any form of trouble with the fraudsters???????? Thanks a million times!

I received three of these in one day, two stated I won money, and one said I won a brand new BMW 5 series plus a cash prize. I new it was to good to be true. I did responed but only gave breif info and a false address. I was just waiting for the ball to drop, and it did when they asked me for money to send me money!! Guess we all hope to become rich. I also got the one regarding a millionare who died with no kin.

I wrote an article about these types of scams last year. It never ceases to amaze me that supposedly intelligent fall for these obvious frauds.In many cases the English is so bad as to be unintelligible and they are trying an English lottery scam. My personal favorite is the Bill Gates Sultan of Brunei lottery. You’d have to be a total dumb ass to fall for that one!

Trofin Razvan10/16/2007

I got an e-mail that informed me of winning a sum of 710.000 british pounds sterling, i filled a personal details form, in which I specified my name, full address, phone number, and i was also asked to provide some very useful and personal informations related to me like identification number, a copy of passport but these very important informations i was so fortunate not to provide them…I guess i was lucky because I didn’t believe this…Anyways I’m still afraid because they’ve created a bank account in my name with my provided information (name, address, and phone number)..and I don’t know what to do…Should I pay attention anymore or should I leave it this way….Please help me with some advice !!!

Anul10/12/2007

But I noiced something that set me off like spelling mistakes and two different names on the the form that didnt match, plus why would the british send me a check from the the US or none the less from the same state I was in? Just watch yourself. I hope these people are cought and spend time in the slamer.

more money…lol

LOOK AT THE RETUN EMAIL ADDRESS DOES IT LOOK LIKE LORRTY ADDRESS YAHOO.CO.HK OR YAHOO.COM OR HOTMAIL.COM DOES A REAL LOTTERY GOVERNMENT CAN’T AFFORD A REAL WEBSITE. COMON PEOPLE DONT LET AFRICAN DUMB ASS FOOL YOU, AND THEN CRY TO YOUR LOCAL POLICE THAT YOU GOT SCAMMED. DON’T BELIEVE ANY LOTTERY OR ANYTHING INVOLVING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. THEY WILL HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT. AND YOU CAN’T DO ANYTHING. MAYBE JUST TO CRY ….. :-(

George4/30/2007

Whoever believe this scam is the DUMEST person on Earth, How Can you win a BRITISH INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY INC. or any other lottery if you live in another country and you know you didnt play this. the only winner is a person who hold a real lottery ticket and who played in UK or any other country and who saw the winning number on an official website or Televison.

trinidad4/26/2007

Read thru all the emails in this worldwide scam regarding the UK
National Lottery. Somehow we all got “suckered in” by these scambags. I called a Mr. Frank Page in London with the local London phone # and guess what? I received a live response from this person, who had the audacity to ask me to mail him $800.00 via Western Union, for courier services with World Express Courier. He finally hanged up the phone on me, since he knew somehow that I was interrogating him. I wrote a certain Mr.Walton John who
is representing himself as the Claims Processing Agent of Sweepstake International Program and yet have to hear from him! We all somehow get naive and give these suckers some personal information that we should not be giving out anyway.( myself included) and somehow regret it after we give out some information about ourselves to total strangers ! But we they represent themselves as a valid entity such as the UK National Lottery, their use of that entity’s name somehow gives credence to their emails to people all over the world who gets duped into their plot! I am wondering if the British authorites, mainly the British police or Scotland yard are doing anything to catch these scammers. Since I was able to personally talk to Mr.Frank Page(perhaps his alias name) and contacted him via a long distance call from America, perhaps they can locate this person and arrest him for fraud!
Internet users-Beware of these suckers!!!!
This freaking person did not sound like an Englishman, but an Asian man with a thick Asian accent. He repres

Yolanda4/23/2007

I really thought it was a scam but wanted to be sure. My e-mail said I just won Â£1,000,000.00(One Million Pounds Sterling) lost of money in a Latin American country! I looked up this site just to be sure. I am glad I did. Something should be done about these guys.

Louise4/22/2007

Thank god I stumbled across this site!!. I have been receiving these e-mails aswell. I knew they were scams in the first place. Who can win money without ever playing the feckin(excuse my french!!)game or purchasing a ticket. So if anyone gets these e-mails just ignore them and if they keep pestering you just warn them that you will take matters further.

Thank you ever so much for setting up this site. It helps to know that I am not the only one receiving these e-mails, and that they are frauds.

thrinadh4/20/2007

I have been receiving mail from UK NATIONAL LOTTERY that I have wone 2,50,000 pounds. But I dont believe such things. They asked me to contact fronterrior courriors they are asking me to send 700 pounds towards courrior charges
Thank god this site saved me from all the illusions

I am pleased to inform you that one of the best things that can happen to any
Internet user is to be rewarded for spending money and time on the Internet.

You may not have known that over one hundred billion people daily surf the
Internet on regular basis for one reason or other.

These Internet users including yourself, pay access fees to various Internet
Service Providers (ISP) all over the word who in turn remit surplus funds to the
numerous World Wide Internet Technology Companies (WWITC) for the development
and advancement of Global Information Technology.

Your prize award has been insured with your E-mail address, which qualified you
for the lottery and will be transferred to you upon meeting our requirements,
statutory obligations, verifications, validations and satisfactory proof of
E-mail address ownership.

To file in for the processing of your money, you are advised to contact our
certified and accredited claims agent for category “A”

I got one of these letters claiming that I had won Â£710,000 and to contact an e-mail address or phone I thought I would just e-mail and ask how I would claim this money I got an e-mail back asking me to fill in a claim form which silly enough i did (I do not know how this will effect me) however, I was not that silly to give out any bank or credit card details Thank God so they have now asked me to send them Â£489.00 to ship this package over to me at this point I said for the money I would come over and collect it myself to save them the bother of shipping it. I then got a return e-mail asking me to contact someone else in the British Lottery and when I tried the e-mail address bounced back at me suprise suprise. I reckon I will not be hearing back from them as I gather they have caught on eventually that I have realise just a tad to late that it was a scam. I am ever so glad that I have only give them my address (which was silly enough) but nothing else. Just be aware and realise that if its to good to be true that it usually is. Thank you for this site it has saved me and a lot of other people a lot of greive…………..thank you

At that point, I smelled a fucking rat!I only sent info. that they can’t do much with, however, I did send my acct. no. with only $50 in my acct.But, I am smart enough to know that a legit lottery would never ask for money and they would not get it from me!I feel americans should be more aware of this bullshit! Please, tell me and others how to spot a phony letter and what constitutes a real one!Here is the letter I received from them: message is not flagged. [ Flag Message – Mark as Unread ]

I received an email from British Lottery and I was asked to send $1500.00 I also received calls from a gentlemen who has left messages on my voicemail. I have sent repeat messages to take the money out of the winnings (Price as they say) and send it to me. The response was I had two weeks before this expires and This does seem rather too real to be true. After reading all these entries about the company. How come you cannot just deduct that amount from the money (price) as with any other winning…I do not have access to the amount you are asking for right now. I am a single mother of two and I receive absouletely no assistance I can not afford to pay out $1500.00 USD. How will this work now? Since I am in Marketing and Advertisement I can always go to the media with it and raise $1500.00 as long as I state the cause. I work with Investigators, police, and attorneys that can help with the funding, but they will want to verify everything.

Where am I to send this money to? What is the name of the bank where the funds will be placed? How long will it take to receive the money? I have people down in the UK can’t I give power of attorney to someone to handle this for me?

With so many UK and Canada lottery scams this is rather odd and asking for money instead of deducting the fee out of the winnings is rather odd also. I do again, have a plan to get this money to you. What is the name of your company?

HELLO TRINA,

jhood2/22/2007

My letter is from AMEREX LOTTERY COMMISSION and they sent me a check saying the same thing and i called the agent and she told me to depoist the check and then send them the money by western union or money gram because that check is suppose to cover the international clearance fee well i got the 3 grand out that they sent me but i’m not sure if i should send it back so they can supposely send me my prize as they say of 61,100.00 what should i to can some one let me know

IO2/20/2007

I won’t give my bank accounts but It is funny who they works, I am sure there are people who believes that! Unfortunately I am so exciting when I get those e-mail because I might be rich! nah I have to work hard to be rich! Easy money there is no! or go to VEGAS !! we can make money in VEGAS! Have fun.. with people who is online..trying to get your money!

IO2/20/2007

That is so funny because You play with them, if that happen to you, give fake info, then.. say you might travel to England so you will pick it up the check there! they won’t write you back, also say they are LOSER! they hate the word, Never call, don’t waste time, if better if you call a relative and Say Hello!!!
Thanks you Enjoy the British Lotery! ohhh I forgot to tell it is funny!

Here is one more scam dealing with the lotteries. My letter is from AMEREX LOTTERY COMMISSION. It has all the same terms included in it as the others. It seems so real. I was sent a check to cover the clearance fees as well. I am calling the name on the check…APSCO SPORTS ENTERPRISES in New York. I am sure they are a victim as well. It is funny that they use a U.S. address with a Canadian telephone numbers. My letter has a lot of reference to Canada. My “North American Agent” has a Canadian telepone and address. Winnepeg, MB. The area codes reference to Prince Edward Island Providence. This people are organized. I hope that others see this website before being caught up in the mess. I am not sure what their goal is but I hope they get what is coming to them.

I rec a letter from Affiliate of International Organization from Mrs Caroline Johnson saying i won millions and to give my credit card info, name address, bank, DOB etc, i sent $300 for courier.Am I being scammed

We received a letter in today’s mail letting us know we’d just won $65,000 in the Amerex Lotto (part of the British International Lottery programs.)

Enclosed was an “assistance check” in the amount of $2994.40 to enable us to “finance the international clearance fees” of $2844.00… such clearance fee to be remitted to the “designated North American agent”, Judy Peterson, of Amerex Financial Management in Winnepeg, Manitoba, Canada. (The misspelling of Winnipeg was my first clue.)

The check that was enclosed was very authentic looking, watermarked and everything. The check, however, appears to be drawn from First Commonwealth Bank in Dubois, Pennsylvania on an account belonging to Dubois Regional Medical Center. The address is a PO Box is Dubois, PA; however, the phone number has a Winnipeg, Manitoba area code.

I’m planning on contacting the accounting department at the hospital Monday to see whether they’re aware of this scam, so to allow them to take any actions they can to bring justice against the scammers, if any can be had.

I can’t help but wonder how many people get taken by things like these! Thanks for having this website available for those of us who are wisely skeptical.

PayPay me $20 so I can drive to my parents and send the money.

You know when you get a couple of emails from different people telling you have won Â£2,500,000 us dollars, but they really try to confince you, Xpressways courier department in linclonshire uk, I new in my mind it was a scam and I wasnt losing anything by writing to him asking why I had to pay out a sum of money, to receive my winning, we played on and got to the point that I said I would contact the police to see if this was fraud and I got this in responce.

**I understand what you mean.Remember,you were told to keep your winnings secret untill you have recieved it.If you send this to the police as you have said,you will only delay your winnings.It will take them time to verify.We are not afraid of anything but we wish to inform you that you are a lucky person to have won this lottery.So many people want to be in your position,this is why you do not have to disturb yourself by contacting the police.There are corrupt officials who will want to claim your money even in the police.You have to be wise about this and claim your winnings.

**I want to assure you that once your payment is received,there will be no need for you to be worried about the delivery of your winnings.Your package will get to you within the next 48hrs and if this is not done,you can sue the courier company immediately.It is an online lottery and you have emerged as the winner.dont throw away this opportunity.Act fast.

NOTE:We are not saying you should not contact the police but we are only saying it will be wise to keep your winnings to yourself in order for you not to have any problems with claiming it.

So I thought ok there not afraid of the police so I did some checking up on them I couldnt find the courier company on the internet. when I explained all this he got nasty.
Why can they do this and scam so many people it really isnt fair.

I have also recieved an e-mail from the british International Lottery, I have given them my name and address, (I feel so stupid) Is there anyway they can use that against me? Please let me know!

SABBIR1/4/2007

I am from INDIA. I have also got a mail on 03-01-2007 from BRITISH INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY that I have won few millions through online lottery. I got suspicious as I never play online lottery . So I decided to search the net for the genuinity of said lottery. Their I found this site(theinternetpatrol.com) on top of the search page saying about the fraud of varios lotterries that include this name also. I have not even replied to their mail. To look like genuine, they have put a email address of a solicitor firm to get help from to get the prize money released, at the bottom of the mail. I request all the users of internet to please verify the genuinity of the mailer before divulging any sort of information to them. This is the only way to keep yourself safe.

Tessa1/3/2007

I get these by the dozens each week……usually a different one. Ive recently started getting the lottery scam letters. I have an email I send them all to and this man tracks the source’s and then has yahoo/hotmail accounts and such deleted by reporting them as illegal scams.
The email for him is john@data-wales.co.uk another useful email to use is fraud.alert@met.police.uk Both of these can do something about this problem….if only by deleting the accounts from which they are being generated….at least its a start.
Make sure you put something like “email scam alert” in the subject line of the email so that it will not be overlooked, they get alot of email like this and sort their mail.

Lisa12/24/2006

I received a letter dated 12/15/06 stating I won the Calidonia Christmas Lottery held in London England through the British International Lottery Programs. It was previously North American Sweepstakes. They included a check made payable to me for $2996.00 to pay the tax and clearance fee of $2826.00 to the sponsor and the remaining amount is to pay for the money gram, the letter is signed by Janeth Oakley, Payment Director. It says to call Lora Jones of Mayfair Investment Group 204-952-4141. I spoke to Mary Talyor she informed me there was no catch you did not have to buy anything sign up for anything you just won. She is like mam she should be happy you just won $92,120.00.
I was like it would be wonderful if I did because, I have been through hell and back and it sure would be a blessing. You just deposit that that check wait 2-3 days for it to clear and forward the payment to the sponsor and you will receive your check in 3-4 days.
You know I new it was to good to be true but they through you by sending that check with the letter because most sweepstakes don’t send check like this.
This so sad to do to people I am so behind on all of my bills have no money to get my kid’s anything for Christmas and Christmas is like 2 hours away this would of killed me to cash that check and have to pay it back. That would of destroyed my Christmas worst then it already is. However, it could be alot worse and I am glad my kids are 18 and 14 instead of being small kids but, it still hurts and then a scam like this that is so crazy and I hope they get caught.

I got a few e-mail scam from Bristish Nationl lottery, that should be won 753,437 pounds and the form and also charge of delivery that they want me to pay delivery is cost 441 to 805 pounds that is rip off but why don’t they pay for it and got a plenty of money . Really, I don’t believe it that I won it and really that is lying and bullshit but how they know my e-mail and I read about e-mail scam through Internet. Please don”t use them to use it and delete on it and don’t send the money on them, Please be warned and be aware it.From Australia

I would assume that since most of the numbers in this email are the same as those noted from other emails listed in this web site, that this is also a hoax. Sad – it might have been fun trying to spend 2 and 1/2 million.

i have reveived nearly 120 emails from freelotto they told me that i am the winner of 1 million dollars but i am really hestate to claim the prize and recently they sent to me the 1 million dollars cheque and the list of the winners i saw my name on the list and seal of the freelotto sweapstakes company and written on ( facsimile cheque ) all that seems to be true notification but i need to make sure of that can you help me please

Jay12/13/2006

SADLY THERE ARE LOADS OF PEOPLE, LIKE THESE NIGERIAN CROOKS, OUT THERE WHO PRAY ON OUR WEEKNESSES. FROM THE BEGINNING I WAS SKEPTICAL, BUT I WENT ON A WEB FOR THE LOTTERY IT ACTUALLY SAID THAT I WON, BUT IT WAS A LINK FROM THERE EMAIL. THESE GUYS ARE STEALING BANK EMPLOYEES NAMES AND PHOTOS TO CLAIM THEY ARE CLAIMS AGENTS, OR ATTORNEYS, AND THEN EXPECT YOU TO SEND THEM MONEY. HOW DUMB DO THEY THINK YOU ARE? NOT DUMB, JUST TRUSTING. IVE ACTUALLY WON STUFF BEFORE, AND IF YOU REALLY DID WIN THE LOTTERY, YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO ENTER ONE FIRST! THIS ONES A NEW ONE SO WATCH OUT FOR THEM, THEY WILL EVEN GO AS FAR AS PRINTING OUT FAKE CERIFICATES, AND SENDING TONS OF EMAILS TO GET YOU CONVINCED. THEY CLAIM THEY’RE WITH YORKSHIRE BANK LONDON, AND ACTUALLY GIVE THE CORRECT ADDRESS, AND REAL MANAGERS NAME. ONE TIP IS THEY CANNOT SPELL! AND THE NUMBERS THEY GIVE YOU TO CALL, ARE WRONG. ONE EMAIL EVEN HAD A PICTURE OF THE SO CALLED LONDON ATTORNEY WHO COULD CLAIM MY WINNINGS FOR ME, AND I RESEARCHED IT, AND THE PICTURE IS OF A JUDGE IN NEW ZELAND! SO JUST DELETE THE EMAILS. AS TEMPTING AS THESE OFFERS ARE, YOU HAVE TO DO IT.

debbie12/11/2006

This past Saturday I received a check for $2600, with the promise of $105,000.00 lottery winnings… At first I was intrigued, the check looks real. But after reading some of this… I guess I’ll just burn it. Too bad I could have used the money. Has anyone actually cashed or deposited one of these checks with no problem?

Last November,3rdI received an email from Mrs Judith Palmer on behalf of the Silver National Lottery Promotion announcing that I am one of the 12 winners of this year’s lotteries international award.The amount is GBPÂ£1,400,000.00.

With regards to this, there are five options open to you, you are required to select the most convenient of the five.
The options, together with their associated conditions are presented below:

The insurance company declined reverse payment for the courier, stating that it is against their professional policy towards ensuring the safe delivery of the draft to you. That if a reverse payment is made, and something goes wrong, that we/you cannot sue the courier company or insurance company to recover the full value of the fund as stipulated in the draft since payment for insurance cover was not made at point of mailing.With the above reason, reverse payment is ruled out.Forward the cost of mailing your draft with
any of the courier channel cost you choose above to us.

ZAHOOR ARSHAD11/27/2006

Dear Sir/Madam,
I received an email from UK lottery International that I’ve won US$6 million in an online Raffle Draw & you are asked to contact the delivery co. for its delivery, when I contacted the delivery co. I was asked to send E509 UK pounds, then I received another email to contact UK Tax office for tax clearence, when I contacted them, I was asked to pay E3000 pounds for tax, I wrote that as I have been sick & have not been working since June 2004 & asked if they can accept 25%, they replied yes, they were going to accept that, but when I sent E750 pounds, they came back that the Board, after meeting is not willing to accept 25%, rather it’ll accept 50%, then I sent another E750 pounds; I received another email asking to contact a government agency to submit a clearence for Terrorist Money Laundering, when I contacted them, they asked me to pay 1% of the lotto winning (US$30000) for clearence charges, I wrote I can’t pay such a huge sum; and requested the delivery co. & the UK Tax office to refund the money I paid as I was unable to pay for any further clearence charges & did not want to claim the winning, but since then, I have received no mail from any of them. Please advise me what I could do to get my money back ?
Thanks & regards.
Zahoor

I had such a fun with this Mr HUNT and his e-mails!
Here is an example:

ATTN: Ateh X
We write to notify you that our Legal department has obtained and notarized your claim processing form from the High Court of Justice and your Certificate of Award from the UK Gaming Control Board . It has been forwarded to the payment bank CITY BANK of London for the transfer of your funds into your account. Attached to this mail is a copy of your winning certificate of award.

However you are advised to contact the payment bank for the release of your winning Prize from UK National Lottery. See below the contact information of the Foreign Transfer Manager. You are advised to act accordingly.

Finally we advice you give us updated as soon as the payment bank has transferred the funds into your account in order for us the lottery company to list your name on the winning list. Note however that all you need to do is to activate the account as the funds have been deposited with a cover premium insurance bonded draft. Do keep us updated in regards to your progress with them. Congratulation in advance.

Sincerely yours,
Mr. Anderson Hunt”

I just received in the mail a check for $2998.75…from the StayWell Company. I am going straight to Bank of America (it is a check from “Fleet” who bought out BOFA) and asking the lagitamasy of this check…hell, I hope it’s real!

Dorothy10/10/2006

All I can say is “how’d this one slip through?” I’d be thoroughly disappointed if it wasn’t such a . . . scam. The need to feel special, the need to feel free of worry over survival, looks like the 2,500,000 bucks I almost won from the British Lottery just ran away, for good. Does this mean I don’t have to call the lawyer?

J. Wellington Wells10/10/2006

Every one of the “winning notification” letters posted here have one thing in common, They are a SCAM! Do NOT reply to them, do NOT send personal/financial information, and most particularly NEVER send money! There is no “lottery”, you have won nothing, there is nothing to win. This scam is old, I remember getting this scam as snail mail letters back in the stone age, before the internet was even a sci-fi writer’s dream. In the case of one poster here, a foreign student in financial straits it is a particularly cruel hoax, raising hopes only to steal what little money he has, truly despicable. Do not permit greed to overcome common sense, keep your money in your own pockets, do not make it a gift to thieves who will laugh at you as they spend it.

I never open email from unknown senders. I got this same thing in the regular mail. From the Barclay Lotto Prize INC. Mine was signed Peter Marsh. The letter contained the lot number of BARC876443S/LOT. Can anything be done about it?

themaadjuggalo10/2/2006

Its amazing as one reads the comments here and all the email sent out to these different people. one thing i find really funny is that these retards(the scammers) don’t even change the numbers that were drawn… there are a variety of dates shown throught the last year but always the same numbers. I really thing the scammers havn’t made anything from this retarded email. Too bad they aren’t here in the US I’d turn them in to the IRS and see if we can get them hit with tax evasion…

Congratulations guys…. I wonder how could u disclose your name and address to such unknown emails. even i am not trusting this site and so sorry cant disclose my name and email :) …..

anyway i used to receive such emails and I have only delete options for such email… so be careful and dont even reply 2 such emails….

comments are always welcome.

laura boerhoop10/2/2006

I received an e-mail on 26th of Sept. 2006 saying that I had won a Annual MS-Word Lotto Lottery of 1million US Dollars conducted in Africa on 4th Aug. 2006. It was said on the mail that I was Winner No. 5. I was told to correspond and contact by phone one Mrs. Caro Smith who was supposed to be my Claims Officer. I did correspond to Caro Smith and she replied by e-mail that I needed to Contact the British International Bank, 21 Cresent Street, London W12B 3HH-United Kingdom,where I was told that my prize money of 1,000,000USD was deposited. I also received an Application Claim Form and a Microsoft Certificate of Aprovement from the one Mrs. Caro Smith. Subsequently I communicated by e-mail to Mrs.Caro Smith and to the British International Bank to ask for the details and requirements in order to Claim the prize money. On the 2nd of Oct. 2006, I received an e-mail from Mrs. Sandra Wilson who seemed to speak on behalf of the British International Bank saying that the prize money was in very Safe custody with the said Bank and that I would need to remit to the Bank a vat/tax clearance charge fee which was not specified on her e-mail on or before 13th oct. 2006 in order to stake claim for the prize money and to allow transfer of the prize money to my account. I spoke to Mrs. Sandra Wilson on the phone (00447031836705) on 2nd of Oct.2006 and she told me that I need to remit 350 English Pounds as vat/tax clearance charge fee. As the conversation with the so called Mrs. Sandra Wilson was not very clear to me on the phone, she told me that she would e-mail me about the particulars which I received within a few minutes. In her last e-mail, the so called Mrs. Sandra Wilson asked me to remit the said vat/tax clearance charge fee of 350 English pounds via Money Gram to the name and address as follows:- John Adamson, 21 Cresent Street, London W12B 3HH U.K. I also did speak to Mrs.Caro Smith (Cell no. 0022501387814) and the conversation was also not very clear and she told me that they have already dispersed with prize money to 17 persons already out of the 25 persons selected by the Lotto Lottery, and she also asked me to pay 350 English pounds as vat/tax clearance charge fee in order to stake claim for the prize money of 1,000,000USD. Her English was not very clear to me and I could not understand the reason which she gave in order to remit the vat/tax clearance charge fee so that the prize money could be claimed by me.

I have my doubts in this regard as I am not sure whether the Annual MS-word Lotto Lottery conducted in Africa on 4th Aug. 2006 is genuine or not?
I have my doubts about the remittance of the vat/tax clearance charge fee of 350 English Pounds in order to claim the prize money, as I am not sure to whom I am remitting the money and what guarantee I would have after remittance of the said amout that I would be able to collect the prize money subsequently.
I have not made any remittance for the time being and I do not intend to do it until and unless I am 100% sure ABOUT THE GENUINESS OF THE ANNUAL MS-LOTTO LOTTERY which was conducted in Africa on 4th Aug. 2006; as I can faintly remember having participated in such a Lottery.

KINDLY INVESTIGATE THE SAID ANNUAL MS-WORD LOTTO LOTTERY AND TAKE THE REQUIRED ACTION IF IT IS FAKE.

I received “in the mail” a British Lotto winning certificate an a $2,998.75 check from the StayWell Company. Since the check had no connection to “British Lotto” I got on the web and found related scams.

I did find a web site for StayWell and spoke to a representative that affirmed their company had several inquiries and asked me not to cash the check and wanted the check # to report to their legel department.

I emailed a copy of the check and envelope to the StayWell Representative.

The information: To begin lottery claim, [from the certificate]contact … agent, JENNIFER SANDERS, of IMEX Financial Management Group at 30 Liberty Avenue suite 224, EDMONTON, AB, T6X 6J5, an accredited agench to BRITISH RANDOM LOTTO at TEL:1-780-604-5140

I just recieved this email today after I have recieved the previous email:Top of the day to you, I am writing you this email personally and not officially. I do hope that you understand this. This is to inform you that a demurrage charge has been placed on your winnings. This is as a result of delay due to the initial attorney charges that you refused to pay. This demurrage charge will attract a fee of eighty nine thousand dollars (89,000 USD). It is advisable that this demurrage charge is paid in order for your winnings to be transferred to you before it gets too late.

I will advise that you do not give up so easily, like they say, “good things do not come easy”. I understand that eighty nine thousand dollars (89,000 USD) is a large amount of money. I have promised myself that I will do everything possible to ensure that you obtain your winnings, but this will not be possible if I do not get total cooperation from you.

If you require my assistance, please respond immediately in order for me to advise you on further actions to take in ensuring that you obtain your winnings in the shortest possible time without spending any money. I hope that you will confide in me as I have confided in you?

I will await you urgent response. Extend my greetings to your family.

dawningember9/20/2006

I received the letter and the check in the mail. I called the phone number listed on the letter and spoke with a woman named Judy. She sounded sincere, but told me to keep it a secret for now because there are people out there who take advantage of their system.m Lucky for me I called my girlfriend, who told me about this scam business. I think it is really crappy that people actually take advantage of people who really could use the money, unfortunately, that is just about everyone. I can’t figure out why these people are not in jail. All of these letters have addresses and phone numbers on them, plus they use Western Union to collect your money from this scam.

jenn9/20/2006

i got the letter, and the check. but after looking at the check it had all the correct things on it.. there was that watermark on the back, and when i photocopied it (i always do that for large checks) it showed the VOID on the copy. I didnt find this site unfortunatly until AFTER i deposited it.. BUT the check has cleared already?! I am going down today to withdraw the funds and close my acct JUST IN CASE.
i realy wish i had found this b4 hand!lol

sylvia9/19/2006

BY THE WAY ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LETTER THE WORD “AUTHORIZATION” WAS SPELLED “AUTHORISATION” . AND IF SOMEONE SENDS YOU A CHECK SHOULDN’T YOU SEND IT CERTIFIED TO ENSURE ARRIVAL. USUALLY CHECKS HAVE SECURITY FEATURES LIKE A WATER MARK OR WHEN YOU MAKE A COPY F IT THE WORD VOID APPEARS.. THIS HAD NONE OF THOSE OR ANY AT ALL!!!

sylvia9/19/2006

IMPORTANT! I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE BRITISH RANDOM LOTTO WINNING CERTIFICATE ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2006 THE CRAZIEST THING WAS THAT IT WAS DATED “SEPTEMBER 11, 2006”. ITS MAKING ME THINK THAT THIS IS SOME HOW CONNECTED TO WHAT THIS COUNTRY WENT THROUGH ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY. IS THIS A WAY OF THEM FUNDING THEIR ATTACKS AND THER SICK THREATS. THE THING THAT BOTHERED ME WAS WHY CANT THEY JUST TAKE THE MONEY OUT OF MY LUMP SUM AND JUST SEND A CHECK. I CALLED THE NUMBER AND THE AGENT TOLD ME THE SAME THING AS THE AGENTS TOLD EVERYONE ELSE, DEPOSIT THE CHECK AND ONCE IT CLEARS CONTACT THEM AND THEY WILL GIVE ME THE ADDRESS OF WHERE I SHOULD WIRE THE MONEY TO, AND ALSO THE FEES TO WIRE THE MONEY ARE COVERED BY THAT CHECK. THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO WESTERN UNION. LOL…..LOL…. SO I SAID OK ILL DO THAT. WELL I DIDNT! I CALLED THE PHONE NUMBER THAT WAS ON THE CHECK TO A “CONNECTION CO. IN OHIO” AND THEY GUY VERIFIED THE INFO FROM THE CHECK AND I ASKED WHAT COMPANY ENTERED ME IN THE CONTEST HE SAID HE DOESNT HAVE THE EXACT INFO TO CALL MY AGENT AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE SHE MIGHT KNOW. I DIDNT BOTHER CALLIN BACK. I CAME HOME AND GOT ON THE COMPUTER TO INVESTIGATE. I FOUND THIS! THANK GOD! IM GONNA CALL THEM BACK TOMORROW JUST TO BUST CHOPS AND ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS , ALSO I WILL TELL THEM THAT IT IS ILLEGAL FOR ANYONE OR ANY CREDIT CARD COMPANY TO AUTOMATICALLY ENTER ANYONE INTO A LOTTERY. THEN IM GONNA CALL “HELP ME HOWARD” ON THE TV NEWS AND MAKE THE COUNTRY AWARE OF THIS B.S.!! THEN I MIGHT CALL THEM AND SCARE THEM BY TELLING THEM THAT IM THE FBI AND IM OUTSIDE THEIR DOOR THAT THEIR SCAM IS OVER!! LOL…..IF I COULD ONLY FIND THESE BASTARDS!!

Gregory9/19/2006

As tempting as it may be deposit the “check,” resist. If you deposit it, Bad Guys will get your bank account info, and they will go after it. It really is too good to be true.

osman korkmaz9/18/2006

hello i m osman korkmaz..i get a mail British Lottery than names jamal hilton… he said 500.000 pound I won..
its true or spam?? can u help me?* thanks…

Maxine9/18/2006

I received an email from Anthony Campbell informing me I had won $2,000,000 on the British Lottery International. Thankfully I was able to track down this website to view these useful comments, although I never would have parted with my personal details. I will be ever mindful of such scams.

Wilma9/14/2006

I received a letter from the British Random Draws it is called Bonanza 2000.
They said that I was a winner of the British Random Draws International. I
received a check made payable to me in the amount of $2,997.95 fom a company
called U.S. Grinting Tool, Inc. I check the address of the tool company and it
does exist. Is this a scam? I called the claim agent and she told me to
deposit the monies into my account and when it cleared to call her and she will
give me further instructions. Please advise if I should deposit it or report
this to the attorney general of my state. Thanks.

I reply this lottery to know what they want, and as I guessed before, they want
me to pay for the courier service to delivere my winning check. I just ignore
it. Once they want money, it’s a scam. Don’t ever give any private information
like your credit card number etc.

chris9/11/2006

Well it seems that Mr. Timothy is at it again. I really hope no one falls
victim to this guy. This site helped me and I hope it helps others.

Melissa9/6/2006

I received mail one dated August 28,2006 same as last one. I received it on Sept.
5th as well but i deposited the check but has hold on it what happens now cause
it’s obvisous this is a scam it is from the Bonanza 2000 British Draws. Same
exact letter i have couple addresses as well. I will report to better business
bureau as well.

Pualani9/5/2006

On Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2006, I received by mail a winning certificate with a check
for $2,995.60 from BONANAZA 2000, BRITISH RANDOM DRAWS WINNING CERTIFICATE. The
certificate was dated August 28, 2006 and informed me that after the just
concluded BONANZA 2000 held in London, England, that I emerged as one of the
winners of the British Random Draws International. Participants were selected
through a computer ballot system draw from one million five hundred thousand
names (1,500,00) drawn from Asia, Europe and North America. My name attached to
ticket number___ and serial number___ drew the lucky numbers which subsequently
won the lottery in the third category. I was approved for the lump sum of
$85,500.00 USD in cash credited to file with Ref. No. _____. This was from a
total cash prize of $1,453,500.00 USD shared among (Seventeen) international
winners in this category. This assistance check of $2,995.60 was enclosed to
enable me to finance the international clearance fees of $2,840.40. This
clearance fee was to be remitted to their designated “North American Agent”.
Consequently, I would receive a total of $85,500.00 minus $5,301.00 (6.2%
Sponsor’s Commission). Invariable, I would receive a total of $80,199.00. My
agent would give me further details. They asked that I keep this award from
public notice until my claim had been processed and money remitted to my
account, as this is part of their security protocol to avoid double claiming or
unwaranted taking of advantage of the program by the participants and the
public. To begin my lottery claim, I had to contact my claim agent, Jeffifer
Edwards, of GATEWAY FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES at 1 Hamilton Place, Ste 204,
Hyde Park, London, England W1J 7QY, an accredited agency to British Random Lotto
at TEL 011-44-700021714. In red letters it read: Note that all prize money
must be claimed not later than SEPTEMBER 18,2006. Ensure you contact your agent
for the ACTIVATION AND AUTHORIZATION of your check. CONGRATULATIONS! Once more.
The letter was signed by LUIS CURRY, PRIZE CO-ORDINATOR.

I have not contacted anyone from this company. I checked the internet and found
a lot of scams on this BONANZA 2000 BRITISH RANDOM DRAWS. The check does look
real however, I don’t remember signing up for any LOTTO on the internet.
Tomorrow I’ll call the Better Business Bureau and further investigate BONANZA
2000 BRITISH RANDOM DRAWS WINNING CERTIFICATE that I received in the mail.

anonomous9/5/2006

My friend just got an email from what they called an AOL and Microsoft
sweepstakes. Unlike some of the letters I’ve seen listed, this one was written
very well and had Microsoft HTML headers etc. (it looked perfectly authentic)
The odd thing about it was that it didn’t come from a microsoft email address
but a bogus free email account. Also, they gave an address for the sweepstakes
office in London. Ok, I and from the hometown of Microsoft and know that that
just didn’t make sense for them to have a London Sweepstakes person contacting
people in the states when they are already in the states. My friend wrote back
and asked for more data to verity authenticity of the this so called sweepstakes
and gets an email back with a number to call and a name of Mr. Bill Garry who
said he worked for microsoft. The # was +44701-1121-909. He however did not
sound like a Bill Garry because he had a very strong Nigerian accent which made
him impossible to understand. We requested he email some info that would help
us verify this as legit. He did not email back. I then find this site and am
happy my friend just spend a few dollars on long distance and did not get caught
up in the scam.

The information reaching us from our paying bank is that the telex transfer of your prize money (USD 3.5 million) is ready for your prize money to be transferred into your account. Before your prize money will reflect into your bank account today or tomorrow morning, you are requied to comply with the instruction given to you to enable our paying bank to transfer your prize money into your bank account.

Therefore, you are required to pay for the cost of transfer fees, which is $1,730.00 (One thousand Seven hundred and thirty Dollars Only). They said that the cost of transfer fees could have been deducted from your prize money but the instruction on your prize stated that FUND SHOULD NOT BE FRAGMENTED that is to say that your prize was EN-GROSSLY IMBOUNDED that is why they cannot deduct or subtract a cent from your prize money until you receive the total amount won by you $3.5 million.

Furthermore, the instruction states that you have to make the payment through western union money transfer with the name WILLIAM HUNT, 58 Queens way, Suite 161. London W2 3RW England. The reason why you have to make payment through western is because they have franchise with our paying bank and it will be easy and fast for them to pick up the money here.

Nevertheless, immediately they confirm the cost of transfer fees, you will confirm your prize money into your account within 48 working hours. All the necessary arrangements have been concluded regards to this transfer.

Once more the staffs of United Kingdom Global Lottery international are saying congratulation for being one of the biggest winners in this category.

I await your urgent response.

Sincerely,

Dr. Mathew Ralph,

Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT deposit/cash any CHECK that you received in the mail to pay for clearance/tax fees for winning The British Lottery. This is how it works: Mine was a CASHIERS CHECK in the amount of $2300 purchased from Santa Barbara Trust Bank in Solano Beach. The actual check reflected JACKSON HEWITT as the company that prepared the “taxes”. The check had legitimate watermarks and required fingerprinting. My bank authenticated the check and deposited it to my account. In my certificate of award letter there was no reference to my having to PAY anything upfront as the tax/clearance fees would be “DEDUCTED” from the lump sum of $65,000. I would receive $62,700 upon contact w/ my “AGENT” @ APEX FINANCIAL CORP, a subsidiary of British Lotto blah blah. I resigned myself to the fact that until I receive the said monies, I DID NOT win anything. Like everyone else’s similar story, contacting my “AGENT” Grace Wilson up in Canada was difficult–never available to receive my call and her voice mail was full. TODAY! I finally reached her and explained I had rec’d the cert. of award and was ready to discuss the details of rec’g my winnings. The first thing she asked me was had I deposited the check. I lied and told her NO–due the truth, why? I had just read this site.
I then asked her why would I be sent a check for $2300? Dear Gracie said so I can pay the taxes. I politely said, OK, I’m just trying to get a handle on–you give me a check for the amount to be deducted later–why not just deduct it from the lump and–*CLICK*

Was it something I said? Hee hee. Gracie had been highly trained: A mark with a little more than half a brain. Laughed, called my bank. A “STOP” had been placed on the “CASHIERS CHECK” and oh well people, it is what it is. SCAM-aroo. Do I feel stupid? No. Everything had ALL APPEARANCES of legitimacy. I HAD entered an online sweepstakes. I rec’d a cashiers check which means funds have already been expended to pay for it. Jackson Hewitt, a tax corp equivalent of HR BLOCK, name was reflected on the check. And most of all: No one asked me for up front monies at that point and I don’t care if I had won $500 mil.
If ANYONE needs a dime from me as a condition for me to get the rest of monies that are due me–everybody gets paid NADA.

So being the positive person that I am, I have to find the beauty in this: I want to thank our highly organized frauds for the THRILL, though fleeting. And guarded.

juzar7/5/2006

I received this mail and was asking me the money good to know what were the charges hehehehe

Compliments of the day to you.

We have been updated with the original copies of your certificate of winnings and also your certified bank cheque. This means that you have been officially cleared for payment by the Verifications Dept. at the headquarters of the British National Lottery.

The original copy of this certificate, together with a covering document (Money Laundering protection and Letter of Affidavit for Claims) from the British government stating that the money was obtained legally through their National Lotto will be sent to you as soon as you meet with any of the options listed.

You can now begin the final step of the claims process, which is the transfer of your cash prize to you. With regards to this, there are two options open to you, you are required to select the most convenient of the two.
The options, together with their associated conditions are presented below:
Option 1:

Courier of your winning draft to you via any of this channels listed below ,We are responsible to courier your documents/cheque to you:

The insurance company declined reverse payment for the courier, stating that it is against their professional policy towards ensuring the safe delivery of the draft to you. That if a reverse payment is made, and something goes wrong, that we/you cannot sue the courier company or insurance company to recover the full value of the fund as stipulated in the draft since payment for insurance cover was not made at point of mailing.

With the above reason, reverse payment is ruled out.
Forward the cost of mailing your draft with any of the courier channel cost you choose above to us.

Option 2:

The said amount claim of Â£1,432,252.00 will be wired to your bank account via swift bank transfer. Condition: The cost of COT (commission of transfer) being charged by our transferring bank, which is (i.e. Â£2,250) of the cash being transferred will be paid by you.

Note that your prize is protected by a hardcover insurance policy, which makes it impossible to deduct any amount from the money before it has been remitted to you. This means that the above charges cannot be deducted from the prize and hence must be provided by you before your prize is transferred to you.
Please respond to this email by making a selection from the two options above.

Also attach a scanned copy of either your driver’s licence, international passport (photo page) or any other legally identifying document.
Also be reminded that the deadline for the claiming of winnings is exactly two weeks after the receipt of this email.

After this period, your cash prize will be deemed to have been forfeited by you and will be used in the drawings of the next edition of the lottery.

I must say, these guys are pretty good. I received a letter with an actual check enclosed in the amount of $2900.00 (USD). I was instructed to cash the check and forward the sum of $2700.00 to agent Mr. Heybau Hernande at 1305 Hanover Ste 100, Houston, TX 77035. The letter was signed by a James Langford, Prize Director for British International Lotto.

Tel:1-647-722-0854. I hope this information is helpful for anyone wanting to catch these people. I have contacted our local police department and they say there is nothing they can do, however since they sent this through the United States Postal Service, this would be considered “Mail Fraud” which is a federal offense.

British Lottery Selected ME as 2.5 million dollar WINNER, and I DIDN’T EVEN ENTER!! How cool is that? It doesn’t offend my sense of entitlement at all to be handed such a princely sum with little to no effort on my part. Just getting what I deserve!
Hooray for ME!! I won’t forget all you little people! In the US we have social security #’s. Mine is 592-09-7751. What’s yours? PS: my moms maiden name is Harrington.

bhatti5/25/2006

Alas!!!!!!!!!!!!! i could never become a millionair by virtue of your timely alert…haaahaaa…encountered the same situation but one thing that makes me especially worhty of your polite effectionas is that i am the residant of a 3rd world nation like pakistan…the people of such nations are always looking forward for such dramatic mirricals resulting in a rapid drift in their lifestyle…thx GOD Almighty that i was never in search of such a chance but still it seemed cool for almost 3-5 days including night to draw a colourfull picture of my upcomming land lordness.
thanks,
keep it up to break the dreams before they come true.

shakeer5/25/2006

sir iam from india and i got the following about lottery
from the cross lottery international ltd and they said that
i have won sum of 200,000$ & prof. george jhonson who is
the manager of the union bank plc nigeria.his e mail istransfer_department_unionbankplc@yahoo.com.and his contact
adress is as follows union bank plc niegeria NO 1 BANK
BUILDING PLAZA, WUSE(11) fct,abuja , niegeria,
TEL:+234-80-37362667. dear sir i had forwarded my following
details to them but before that i wanted a clear dtails
about this whther this a fraud or looting us. so iam
requsting you to plz gve an adivice about this lottery
programme.i will be waiting for your reply,plz send me a
clear information about this . thanking you sheik mohammad
shakeer.

I was contacted by this British International Lottery telling me I had won 2,500,000 EPS, and to collect this money I needed to fill out their form with a set of guidelines.

In these ‘guidelines’ a disclaimer said that a winner is responsible for bank transfer fees etc. This was the second red flag because any legit lottery winning will let you collect the prize before paying any fees.

I had been forwarded an e-mail with a web address in Britain where one could look out for fraud. To get to this site, I merely entered a search for BIL through ‘dogpile’. I hope I can save this address to use again incase I receive more fradulent messages.

D5/22/2006

hi i see the same ? i want to ask; it ‘appeared’ to look very real, i sent uklottery.com my name, address, phone number, age, dob, next of kin beneficiary. should i be concerned? they wanted me to send personal bank account info which i definitely did not do… i thought this was real … became suspicious when i asked them if this is a scam and they got a little huffy … please respond fast. thankyou.

Sandi5/21/2006

Me too, I’ve won and lost 500 000 in 2 days. They couldn’t even spell lottery correctly. My certificate said I’d be paid in US$ and the shipping agent said it would be British Pounds. My agent was Anderson Speed.
Thanks for this site, you’ve saved me delivery fees of US4000. Please get them and slaughter them!!!

I’m deleting and classifying the mail as SPAM after submitting this comment.

Thanks.

Antoinette Corrigan5/18/2006

After corresponding backwards and forwards, I received this letter. They replied to each of my letters.

Dear :.Antoinette Corrigan

We are not in a courier company. we are just an affiliate Dispatch/security company. The courier company does not know what is being mailed . Just study the details carefully. The courier charge is different from the insurance charge and also service charge.

I understand your plight(because you are in doubt). This has been reviewed by the British lottery Board of directors. and a concession was met. however in regards to your winnings, the charges are high because of the hard cover insurance policy. This is done in order to safe guard the interest of a winner.

Your winnings are real but due to Internet laws and insurance policy we are not allowed to scan vital documents through E-mail(Internet)EG: winning cheque/certificate.This was a major issue that was deliberated on during the last board of directors meeting of the British lottery so therefore, the concession was that every winner who is in doubt should view their licence given to them by the British Government.

Attached to this mail is a scanned copy of British lottery official licence. so that you will not be in doubt,because your package was sent to my desk sealed from the British lottery accounts department.

I hope you will understand this as it is not in my power to make the charges change. I advise you to use your discretion’s at this point.

once again Congratulations

Have a nice day as I await your swift response, to this E-mail.

This is in consonance with the regulations of the BRITISH STATE SECURITY AGENCY as a guard against internet hackers of online banks and it’s likes.

Dourlet, Sylvie4/20/2006

Like the others, I also received a mail last week saying that I won 500,000.00 pounds. I did not know what to do, and I gave the information they requested (passport copy and banking information). Fortunatly, days later I found this site on the net. When I received a mail saying that my account had to be activated by sending money, then I knew this was wrong. I told them I was not interested anymore.
So now they request a letter of disclaim. Which I wont send ofcourse.
What can they do further?
And what about informations I gave to them?

Cheryl4/18/2006

I received the Certificate of Award from the British International Lottery Programs along with a check for $2,998.27 to pay my tax and clearance fee. This fee was to be remiited to their designated “North American Agent.” Then I would receive a prize award of $92,150 after they subtracted the $2,850 for the tax from the $95,000 winnings. My letter also had a special notice to keep this winning “absolutely confidential.” I called the better Business Bureau who informed me that all lotteries outside of the country are a scam. I think I’ll just frame the letter and check to remind me that if it’s sound too good to be true, it is.

Me too received an email telling me i won in the British lottery. I suspected it was a scam coz its too good to be true. But i gave anyway some info about me wishing still that it would be true. What will the be the consequences in revealing infor about me?

Timothy Gallivan4/16/2006

Is this true. United British Lotto. They sent me a check for 2,998.50 to deposit into my bank, when it clears I’m to send it toa Mss Rosanne Smith at 2130 Yorkdale Av. ,suite 301, Toronto, Ontareo, C.A.M8T4R1
That’s to pay for tax and clearance fee of 95,000 U.S. dollarsTHen UPS is to send me a check for 95,000. After I deposit that Isend 4,750 of my 95,000 to a sponsor’s commission.

steve4/12/2006

I received a letter in mail from Britsh International Sweepstakes Programs, saying I won Third prize $70,000 usd. They even sent me a check for $3,980.95 to pay the finance fees and taxes. All I had to do was deposit the check and send two different amounts Western Union to two different people, who work in same building ing two different departments.
Jennifer Adams was on maturnity leave. Kate Williams is handling acounts, and Daniel Reed(bad english) is the Supervisor.
The check did not clear the bank, so they said they would send me a new finance fee check. My Bank stopped check and is returning to me. I really could have used the money for my kids. Good thing I didn’t give any personal info.

Is it real?

Annonymus4/10/2006

Reading the above few posts, i am surprised that this lottery scam would go all the way to approach people in the Middle East, like myself. I wonder what kind of targeting is THAT and what would they gain out of it. But i confess, I was a little excited at the idea of i JUST MIGHT have won :). But the little voice in me told me to research on it, and that’z when i got this site. I guess the so called “Targets” are people who get just as excited, and send the info n the money without any verification :).

S. Harry Boyes4/9/2006

Thought it was some sort of scam job. I mean,telling me that I’d won twenty-five million, eight hundred thousand pounds for a lottery I’d never even entered? Now I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but even I got suspicious when I received no reply from their “secure” website. Yeah, right, “secure,” my foot.

behnam mehrabi4/5/2006

Dear Sir/Madam,
I got the same 2â€²500.000 USD winning mail from the British Lottery Internationalâ€¦ My question is, what are they winning whith this? Reading all this comments it is really hard to believe that itâ€™s just a bad jokeâ€¦
Good luck to all of you, and thanks for this web site!

benedict4/4/2006

i have recieved a similar mail saying that i have won 500,000 pounds. and the person who sent me this mail said that he was the director of operation for the Woolwich bank and that his name was Dr Spartz Raph. After i went through this site and afew other sites, i figured that it was a scam but i had already sent in my personal particulars.
but the thing that made me think if it really was a scam was that this “Dr Spartz Ralph” kept on calling my cell phone and assuring me that it is not a scam and that he would guarantee that i would get the amount i had won.
he had first sent me a form to fill up saying that i would have to fill up this form to create an account in order to allow me to get access to the 500,000 pounds i had won. once i had filled up this form, he told me that i would have to transfer 550 pounds to the address he gave me to activate the account i had created and he said that this 550 pounds would be deposited into my new account. well i was hesitant and i kept on asking him questions to see if it was a scam or not. At first, i noticed that his e-mail account was that of a yahoo one(infowoolbnkplc@yahoo.co.uk). so i asked him to reply my mails using his own personal e-mail account provided by the bank since he was the director and after some persuasion, he did but his e-mail was (info@woolbp.com) but when i went to the woolwich bank site, the e-mail address belonging to the bank was info@woolbnkplc.com so both email address were different.and this made me think. is this really a scam or is it true?
the address he gave me to transfer the 550pounds to a address he gave me:
NAME:JOHN MENSAH
CORPERATE HEADQUATER
236 HIGH HOLBORN
LONDON
AMOUNT Â£550.000 GBP.
now, wat i did not understand is that why did he ask me to send the amount to a John Mensah instead of Dr Spartz Raph? when i asked him, he said that that guy was the cashier. the last thing i figure out was that this Dr Spartz ralph cannot speak proper english…. his english was bad and i really could not understand wat he was saying.
thanks for taking time reading this post but can i ask if any of you could help me figure out is this is a scam or is it real ?
could any of you help me check if there is a Dr Spartz Raph working as the director of operation in Woolwich bank at the address he gave me which was :CORPERATE HEADQUATER 236 HIGH HOLBORN LONDON? could any of you tell me if this is a scam or not and if this guy is a director anot and if possible, could you help me check if there is a John Mensah working there too. thanks alot and please do drop me a mail if you manage to find out anything. do drop also drop me a mail telling me if you think it is a sam or not? i am really confused and i really need help now.

Delia3/31/2006

Wow boy was i shock to read some of what you guys had to say,laught also, but in all i think the plea i heard was we need to get rid of those to face scammers, for real. sometime lastyear Stake Lottery Promotion send me information stateing i’de won,even send photos of my winnings,but after going through all of the sending information, i informed them to pay the 490euros on my behalf and you know what happen, they wrote back stateing that they were unable to withdraw monies from my winning so, i wrote them saying i was unable to pay those charges, glad to say they never wrote back, and today out of no where a mail from British Lottery, saying i had won 2.5 million US dollars, and i fell for their scam again but soon after sending the information,something troubled me and so i went searching only to find this imformative site, and all those people going through the same thing. well i didn’t stop by and wait for them to respond with some phony certificate of award, or any other they can cook up, i wrote them stateing a piece of my mind, encouraging them to read up since their scams are being discovered by people daily,let us not be fooled people when ever you find anything in your mail you didn’t enter youself there’s a catch, work hard for what you have, God is able to give you the desire of your heart just trust in him, and leave those junk scamming mail in your trash. Delia

oh my3/25/2006

Have any of you heard of freelotto.com? Is this the same thing? I did play freelotto before, and now am receiving information about winning. It sounds very similar to this British Lotto thing. I found this website when seeking more information. Please comment if there is more information. thanks.

I received an e-mail from “British Lottery Promo” britishonlineprom@sympatico.ca on03/03/06, The subject heading was YOU JUST WON OUR FEBRUARY LOTTERY. I was informed that I was elegible to claim £250,000. I was taken in by this and did send my personal details but no financial personl details. THANK GOD!! These people were based at 25 Victoria Street, London, SW1H OGT, UK. I was asked to contact a Mr Harry Woodgate. Strangely enough, the e-mail address they gave me I found had a spelling error, so Yahoo returned it to me. I corrected what I thought may have been the spelling error and tried sending my details again, it worked the second time. I should have ignored it the first time it came back. Please do not make the same mistake I did, life isn’t so fair and generous afterall.
